English majors choose courses ranging from medieval and Renaissance to post-modern. These can include drama, Shakespeare, rhetoric, literary criticism, mythology and English grammar, as well as creative writing of poetry, fiction or personal essays. A pro seminar, English as a Field of Study, introduces students to career possibilities and the entire faculty of English professors.

In addition, an academic advisor assists students in planning their course schedules, graduation dates and careers.
